Do you have a take on Sandros posts?
My take is that he is supposedly saying he finds something alignment indicative in Slam's posting, doesn't tell what that is or which way in his opinion it points towards, but somehow Trfel is supposed to(?) do that.

Since you seemed to end up with no read whatsoever, I'm just curious what the motivation/mindset/purpose was? It's not "no read", it's a few things that point one way or the other. The point of sharing inconclusive thoughts is that it helps other players make sense of my alignment and also invites others to partake in the discussion. I guess I meant the conclusion, but fair enough.

I am dense regarding my vagueness I just wasn't sure if you meant that you were agreeing or something else. Just wanted to check if I was missing something.

To me, this comes across as trying to be non-committal and playing the "safe game" while making it look like you are saying things and trying to figure things out. Trfel, what kind of committed position would you reasonably expect sandroba to have at that point in the game? I'm not expecting some huge commitment or 100% certain reads or anything like that. But I think it's reasonable to expect something of substance. Sandroba failed to provide that. I understand people wanting to share thoughts, even if they aren't sure about the conclusions, but at the same time it's a game of mafia where the conclusions about people's alignments is ultimately what matters. My point about sandroba isn't that he didn't have any strong conclusions, it's the amount of thoughts he shared without any conclusions whatsoever and the way that he seemingly undermined any conclusion he could have made with doubt and take-backsies or whatever you want to call it. I don't think that everything needs to progress the game necessarily, or have a distinct purpose, it's that sandroba's post is the type of post that should have a purpose but just doesn't. @Alakaslam, I'm getting lost in my quotes but this is in reference to what I asked earlier, where you said you agreed with my points about sandroba's post.

Early game overreaction by both! They threw suspicion around kinda quick If I saw later it was M/M I would chuckle at the cojones and be unsurprised This seems surprising. In multiple ways to be honest. First, why did you agree with my post if it's just an overreaction? Second, wouldn't an overreaction by both imply that both are town, but then you said it could be mafia/mafia? Am I misreading something here? The first question is what I wanted to get at though, since it seems that this is quite the shift in direction.
Because it was accurate, doesn't mean your conclusions later were.
Plus, I'm pliable. Don't know anyone here more pliable than I am.

sandro for obvious reasons
Didn’t like DP’s attack on Trfel nor Trfel’s subsequent defence of those posts, but maybe DP is being DP (I think we established this year that we don’t think the same) and Trfel has been tenacious.
So maybe Vivax, primarily because I don’t find his posts very interesting

Leaning suspicious from what I've seen so far. We have Trfel and Slam entering the thread rather casually in my opinion. This approach by Sandro sticks out as overthinking and doesn't really seem like he's attempting to form some kind of real contact with them. I don't like the phrasing in parts either (bolded). 'Posting within what I expected' comes out of the blue as you should be expectation-free if you don't know his alignment. 'Self-demeaning tone' is something I don't spot, where is the part of his filter that suggests that? On December 10 2023 13:23 sandroba wrote:

Sandroba, are these posts your legitimate opinion or did you write them mostly with the intent of creating a discussion surrounding Trfels and Slams alignments? That last question to sandroba. If he just says, "I wrote it just to create a discussion about Trfel's and Alakaslam's alignments" then what have you gained from this whole post? I guess I'm confused, if that is an acceptable answer, then why give it to him as an option, like it invalidates the whole purpose of asking the question, no? It gives him an option to acknowledge it was a terrible post without saying it was a terrible post. What does that acknowledgment provide? Also, any thoughts on Alakaslam? I know he plays a bit on impulse but I still find it very strange how his thoughts followed the thread sentiment so directly.
Always pliable, dunno if this is a change or not as we sense change least in ourselves.
